When the Ford Bronco Heritage Edition first arrived, the 10-speed automatic transmission was offered only with one engine: the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6.

That changes with the 2026 Ford Bronco, which will now let buyers pair the automatic with any engine in the lineup. It’s a straightforward update that makes the range easier to configure and broadens its appeal.

Specifically, the 2026 Bronco Heritage Edition can be ordered with the 10-speed automatic alongside the 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-four. Until now, the 2.3-liter I4 was available exclusively with a seven-speed manual.

This new 10-speed/2.3-liter pairing will also be offered on the 2026 Bronco Base, Big Bend, and Outer Banks trims. The move gives drivers who prioritize convenience an option that doesn’t require stepping up to the V6.
